A little beetling about with Max produced a group of presumed Badister beetles.
Further guessing leads me to suppose they are all Badister unipustulatus.
One fallen Ash enabled us to scratch around the rotted heart of the stump - revealing several Lesser Stag Beetles. 
This rather an ex-beetle. When it was alive, it was identified by Richard Comont as a Silpha atrata. I agreed...
